But honestly, I’d use the plane angle. Look at the Gulf War stuff from 91!!! Or any of the Russian characters during the Cold War. This generation is too PC, and we suck for it.

LOL WWE being WWE.

Better that than them being totally gutless and releasing her. She’s to hot to let go.

Well, they are right. If anything they should use it. Real issues get real heat. Fact of life.

Better not release her or plain bury her for something stupid.

When I see stuff like this, it makes me long for the old school wrestling business. They are too fat and happy in Stamford these days. What she and Rusev did was draw some serious hot old school heat, and it left everyone watching Battleground wanting to see Swagger thoroughly kick the crap out of Rusev, which helps both guys. The business needs the controversy and the buzz. So, what do they get for being the only heels in WWE who actually know how to be legit heels? Neutered by a press release. Nice work.

Did you Know?

When WCW did the WorldWide show, they used to have a monitor to tell the audience who to cheer and who to boo. One one occasion when Rick Rude and the Equalizer (the "heels") the audience accidentally cheered for them and WCW had to reshoot their entrance over again.
